Andrea,1. I have not seen any ability to do that with a datagrid but you could use a datagroup and an custom itemrenderer.2. Add these lines to the init function: (document.getElementById('Andrea').focus(); 'Andrea' has to be replaced with your applications name i.e. the name of the main.mxml.    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript: document.getElementById('Andrea').focus();"), "_self");
    //Now give the focus to the first input
    inCity.setFocus();and change this line:<s:TextInput id="inCity" text="Billings" enter="locate()" />
